Interestingly, Sushmitha was initially considered for a different role. “But after meeting me, the director felt I could pull off Radha,” she adds. Today, having worked across multiple languages, she sees her journey as part of a larger shift in Indian cinema. “The borders are slowly blurring, especially for female actors. Audiences are more aware of talent across industries. We’re no longer confined to one region; it’s becoming one space: Indian cinema.”
For Sushmitha, the journey is as much about growth as it is about discovery. “I enjoy exploring different cultures and languages. I consider myself lucky to know a few languages. I see every project as a learning experience, and I’d love to continue working across as many Indian languages as possible,” she says.
